What trades in chemicals & petrochemicals
Chemicals move with paperwork. A safety data sheet, a certificate of analysis and the correct dangerous-goods classification are part of the product, not an afterthought.
TP4 connects eligible chemical requirements with suppliers, and with forwarders who handle the packaging and classification the cargo needs.

Chemicals & Petrochemicals: questions buyers ask
Does TP4 handle hazardous chemicals?
Eligible requirements can be supported where suppliers, carriers and documents meet the transport and import rules. Restricted or controlled substances are declined.
What should I send with a chemical request?
The product name, CAS number if known, grade or purity, quantity, packaging and destination. An SDS from a previous supplier helps.
Can TP4 check import registration needs?
TP4 flags common requirements for the destination, but the importer remains responsible for registrations and permits.
Which packaging should I choose?
It depends on volume, product and handling at destination. Drums and IBCs suit smaller lots; ISO tanks and bulk suit regular large volumes.
